    Maybe the BBC stumped it up and not BBC Scotland.

    Wolves biggest rival is West Brom and vice versa. Villa West Brom used to be the biggest rivalry mainly due to the fact they are technically the closest teams together and were the most successful for a while. The Rivalry isn't what it was West Brom probably dislike villa a bit more than Vice Versa. Villa and Blues generally hate each other and I'd say its the most fierce rivalry in England for 2 teams in the same city.

    Just to confuse the issue further Blues and Wolves also have a rivalry so it's all generally confusing!
    Fiercer than West Ham Millwall?

    Yeah but Villa/Blues is a real cross town rivalry.
    Wolves/West Brom is the 'Black Country' derby, a nasty one in it's own right.
    Always feel for Coventry as they are stuck out slightly detached from the big metro area and all of the other clubs have more immediate and natural rivals.

    Surprised Coventry/Leicester isn't a big match up as they are in a similar boat. Always consider Forest as their main rivals, but for Forest fans it's all about Derby County.

    It used to be tasty in the centre of Brum when (pre-successful) Leicester City visited to play Villa.

    Most Police I've seen at a game was when Man Utd played Birmingham City in a cup game.

    On the Luzern thread, some folk made mention you can’t access iPlayer outside the UK and even some VPNs don’t work? Any idea what VPNs work with iPlayer? I’m away on holiday and was banking on the legs being switched.

    I do have my tablet with my IPTV provider on it but we’ve found it a bit patchy here.

    I asked my Cov-supporting mate about them and Leicester (prompted by a photo of half-and-half scarves on sale outside their recent league game…) and he said there is a significant dislike of Leicester but that it's generational – younger fans hate them because they've been successful recently but generally older fans aren't that bothered. Not sure how Leicester feel about it.

    Makes you appreciate the simplicity of a proper city derby between clubs of similar stature – they hate us, we hate them. The filthy maroon pricks.

    There’s no chance BBC Scotland could afford it, if it’s picked up BBC itwill be uk wide
    The problem with that is the world athletic championship is on BBC just now
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    I make you about right but will add that Villa - West Brom is the oldest rivalry really, going back to contesting cup finals in the Victorian era, and the Hawthorns is about the same distance from Villa Park as St Andrews.

    Plus the Albion have actually had some decent teams and players down the years.

    I would say so yes Millwall West Ham is obviously bad but as a London Centric country gets a lot of coverage and so on due to past hooligan firms. Villa Blues recently has meant part of stadiums being closed for games and dozens of arrests at games. I guess the Grealish punch and Villa fans invading the Villa Park complex when Mcleish went from Blues to Villa sums it up.

    I've always found that rivalry more relevant if you are from North Birmingham as I'm from South there is hardly many West Brom fans around just a lot more blues in contrast to other parts of Birmingham.

    Nice one, honestly thought both legs would of been on TNT, fair play to the BBC for showing it.

    Subscribed to TNT Saturday so will cancel it soon unless we do the unthinkable.

    Yeah that's fair, as a kid I was north but then moved east where I first encountered the unwashed.
